Catering Cold Storage When You Need More Space
Need more refrigerated storage than your kitchen, commissary, walk-in cooler, or venue can provide? So Iccy delivers temporary mobile cold-storage space for catering companies, commercial kitchens, food service operations, and high-volume prep.
More Cold-Storage Capacity Without Building Another Walk-In
Catering companies regularly need more refrigerated space than their permanent kitchen can provide. Large orders, seasonal demand, advance food preparation, recurring contracts, and high-volume weekends can quickly fill a walk-in cooler.
So Iccy provides mobile catering cold storage that can be placed at your commercial kitchen, commissary, prep facility, staging location, or other approved location.
Use the additional space for short-term overflow, extended storage needs, prepared-food staging, or temporary capacity while your business handles increased production.
When Caterers Need Extra Cold Storage
You may not need another permanent walk-in cooler. You may simply need more refrigerated space during the periods when your business is busiest.
Walk-In Cooler Overflow
Add temporary storage when your existing walk-in reaches capacity during busy production periods.
Advance Food Prep
Create additional refrigerated space for food prepared ahead of large orders, catering jobs, or high-volume service periods.
Seasonal Demand
Increase cold-storage capacity during holidays, wedding season, festival season, and other predictable periods of higher demand.
Commissary Overflow
Give a busy commissary or commercial kitchen additional refrigerated storage without modifying the permanent facility.
Recurring Catering Contracts
Add capacity for recurring food-service contracts, meal programs, corporate accounts, or scheduled high-volume production.
Temporary Facility Needs
Maintain additional storage during renovations, kitchen changes, equipment replacement, or other temporary facility constraints.
What Can You Store?
Mobile cold storage gives catering operations additional space for temperature-sensitive food and inventory that would otherwise consume valuable kitchen and walk-in capacity.
Choose the Cold-Storage Space Your Operation Needs
So Iccy's current catering cold-storage page describes mobile refrigerated units ranging from approximately 8 feet / 350 cubic feet through 16 feet / 600 cubic feet. Available equipment varies, so we'll match the available unit to your storage volume and site requirements.
Compact Cold Storage
Approximately 350 cubic feet of additional space for smaller overflow requirements and locations where footprint matters.
Storage Options
Select from available units based on your inventory, storage period, site access, and operating requirements.
Higher-Capacity Storage
Up to approximately 600 cubic feet for larger catering operations and higher-volume temporary storage needs.
Use Cold Storage for Days, Weeks or Longer
Temporary mobile storage lets you add refrigerated capacity when the business needs it without committing to permanent construction.
Short-Term Overflow Storage
Add temporary space during a busy production run, large catering order, holiday, or other short-term increase in refrigerated inventory.
- Weekend production
- Large catering orders
- Holiday demand
- Temporary inventory overflow
Extended Cold Storage
Keep additional refrigerated capacity in place when your storage requirement lasts longer than a single catering job.
- Seasonal demand
- Recurring contracts
- Kitchen renovations
- Temporary facility expansion
Production & Prep Storage
Free up your primary walk-in by moving appropriate staged inventory into additional mobile cold storage.
- Prepared ingredients
- Bulk food inventory
- Prepped catering trays
- Backup stock
Commissary Expansion
Add refrigerated storage alongside your existing commercial kitchen or commissary without permanently expanding the building.
- Commercial kitchens
- Catering commissaries
- Meal-prep operations
- Food-service facilities
Stop Packing More Product Into an Already Full Walk-In
When a walk-in cooler becomes overcrowded, accessing ingredients and organizing inventory becomes more difficult. Temporary cold storage gives your operation another place to organize appropriate refrigerated inventory.
The additional space can be used strategically for bulk inventory, advance prep, backup products, or other refrigerated items that do not need to occupy your primary kitchen cooler.
Create Dedicated Storage for:
- Bulk ingredients
- Prepared catering trays
- High-volume orders
- Backup food inventory
- Beverage inventory
- Seasonal products
- Recurring catering accounts
- Advance production

Frequently Asked Questions
What is catering cold storage?
Catering cold storage is temporary refrigerated storage used by caterers, commercial kitchens, commissaries, and food-service operations when existing cooler capacity is insufficient. A mobile refrigerated unit can provide additional storage without permanently expanding the facility.
Can I use mobile cold storage when my walk-in cooler is full?
Yes. Overflow storage is one of the primary uses for temporary catering cold storage. It can provide additional space for appropriate refrigerated inventory when an existing walk-in has reached capacity.
What sizes are available for catering cold storage?
So Iccy's current catering cold-storage offerings include units ranging from approximately 8 feet with 350 cubic feet of space to 16 feet with approximately 600 cubic feet. Actual unit availability varies.
Can I rent catering cold storage for more than one day?
Yes. So Iccy offers both short-term and longer-term rental options. This can be useful for seasonal demand, recurring catering work, facility changes, and temporary increases in production.
Can catering companies use cold storage for advance prep?
Temporary refrigerated storage can provide additional capacity for appropriate prepared foods, ingredients, catering trays, and inventory associated with advance production. Your operation remains responsible for following applicable food-handling and temperature requirements.
Can a catering commissary use a refrigerated trailer for overflow storage?
Yes. Mobile cold storage can be placed at suitable commercial kitchens and commissaries to provide additional refrigerated capacity, subject to site access, power requirements, placement, and equipment availability.
Is catering cold storage only for events?
No. Catering cold storage can be used at a commercial kitchen, commissary, prep facility, staging area, or other suitable location. This service is focused on providing additional storage capacity rather than only supporting an individual event.
What is the difference between catering cold storage and catering refrigeration?
Catering cold storage focuses primarily on providing additional refrigerated storage capacity for overflow, inventory, preparation, and temporary facility needs. Catering refrigeration rentals can cover broader mobile-refrigeration needs associated with weddings, events, outdoor catering, festivals, and mobile food-service operations.
How do I choose the right cold-storage size?
Consider the amount and type of inventory being stored, required storage period, site access, available power, and how frequently staff will need to access the unit. So Iccy can use that information to identify an appropriate available unit.
Running Out of Cold-Storage Space?
Add temporary refrigerated capacity without building another walk-in. So Iccy provides mobile cold storage for catering companies, commercial kitchens, commissaries, food-service operations, and high-volume production.
